Radio Free Gowanus was a pop-up radio station broadcasting during the Gowanus Open Studios, Oct. 18-19, 2014 and is now an occasional podcast. Preferring creative commons licensed material and shows produced by the station itself in collaboration with local Gowanus artists and residents, Radio Free Gowanus celebrates free culture, free speech, and the importance of community. RFG broadcasted on FM band and online for ~35 hours straight during the Gowanus Open Studios 2014. Many people stopped by and told us about themselves during that weekend. We are indebted to the wonderful community of Gowanus for supporting the station.
